Try to open this version
Message comes up: “MuseScore 3.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
Comments
The .dmg file will download and can replace the older version of MuseScore. But when you try to open the app, you get this announcement: “MuseScore 3.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
MuseScore 2.1.0 loads just fine.
See https://musescore.org/en/faq#faq-302904. The necessary support is present in MuseScore 3.5 to not need this workaround any more.
